GRC 275 Learning and Discussion Forum

Hey Everyone,
Here is my Project 03 prelim. The event I chose is the Alpine Cup. This is a ski competition held at Alpine Ski Resort, and I chose it because I used to coach the kids who compete and am very familiar with the event. For my designs I really wanted to show case the beauty of the mountain as I felt this would help draw people to the site and keep them there. I also wanted to use a lot of blue and white to give the impression of snow and winter. Let me know what you think!

Hi! I absolutely the layouts with the orange sunset in the background! This usage of warm tones gives a great contrast to the blues you are using. Im excited to see how this finished sit turns out in the end, good luck!

Cedar, I love the action skiing! I am not a fan of the crown atop the mountain. The C in the logo looks like an L.. I don't think I would put the logo in front of items, but on the clear solid sky it seems okay. I really like the gold design and if you do that, the text ontop of the gold sunset could be a slightly transparent text box background with warm lettering. This is looking good and I wonder if you are going to give the style sheets and thumbnails later?
